What is the purpose of an everlasting punishment in hell?
#32
RE: What is the purpose of an everlasting punishment in hell?
If God were real, then human beings are more merciful, logical, and sane than he is.

BECAUSE

God's son was killed by mankind according to his own will, God sent his son to earth for the purpose of dying for them....basically by proxy murdering his own child...and as a result decrees that anyone who doesn't accept Jesus is going to burn in hell forever.

Here on Earth a pedophile murders a child (same concept, a child's life ended in a horrible way) and we as humans end the murderers life mercifully by painless lethal injection. Does the sicko deserve worse than that, damn right....but we as humans (at least the decent ones) do not carry out that kind barbarity because we see that it is wrong. Sounds like we should be teaching God, not vice versa.

Mankind's Mercy 1 ~*~ God's Mercy 0.5

Furthermore, why would God invent or allow the existence of Hell and send people there to suffer if he wasn't a little twisted? Does he get off on seeing people suffer? Much like Kip in the Napoleon Dynamite time machine electrocution scene:

Sounds like the guy needs some professional help.
~*~Your beliefs don't make you a better person, your behavior does ~*~

~*~Live a good life. If there are Gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are Gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no Gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones - Marcus Aurelius~*~
